As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on, the Highlands Ranch Metro District and Centennial Water & Sanitation District are encouraging residents to apply to vote by mail in the May 5 election.

In the election, residents will vote on the next metro district board members and in an inclusion election for the water district. The inclusion election will determine whether the water district will include all of their service area in their board member eligibility district.

Absentee ballot applications will be due by 5 p.m. April 28, according to a news release from the districts.

“With the health of the community in mind, we invite people to complete an absentee ballot application and vote in our elections from the safety of your home,” said John Kaufman, general manager of Centennial Water, according to the release.

The applications for each district are available at their respective websites, centennialwater.org/vote and highlandsranch.org/election. They can be submitted via email, mail, fax or can be dropped off, according to the release.

Those who don't get an absentee ballot will still be able to vote in person May 5 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Hendrick Office Building at 62 Plaza Drive.

“We are disgusted by the behavior of the officers in Minnesota,” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock told members of the Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. “Those were bad cops, and if they work for any sheriff in this room they would have been fired just the same.”
